LeBron James Jr. is stuntin' like his daddy.

The young progeny of Earth's greatest basketball-playing human is in fourth grade, plays ball himself and earned himself some Internet props after showing off a sweet outside shot, impressive court vision and tight handle at a tournament over the weekend.

The video embedded above shows young Bronny, as his father calls him, helping the Gulf Coast Blue Chips to a championship at an event in New Orleans this Saturday and Sunday.

Big LeBron also gave little Bronny a shoutout to his 19 million Twitter followers and 8.7 million Instagram followers after Junior's squad locked up the title:

Congrats Bronny and your teammates on winning the championship in New Orleans. You, Bryce and Z are my… http://t.co/nji9pxJz4r— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 22, 2015

They even got some sweet rings for their troubles:

Congrats Bronny and your teammates on winning the championship in New Orleans. You, Bryce and Z are my heros!! #JamesGang #StriveForGreatness A photo posted by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Feb 22, 2015 at 2:18pm PST

Bronny is the eldest of James' three kids -- his second son is named Bryce Maximus and his daughter is name Zhuri Nova.

This isn't the first time James has taken to social media to revel in Bronny's exploits on the court, however. These two Instagram posts celebrated the Blue Chips' performance at a tournament in Houston in December:

I see you Bronny! Do work. That 0 look good on you. Looking like "Russelmania" @russwest44. Cook! #JamesGang #StriveForGreatness A photo posted by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Dec 20, 2014 at 3:10pm PST

S/O my son Bronny and his teammates Gulf Coast Blue Chips on their two wins today in Houston! Keep it going boys! #CrazyUniforms #YoungKings #StriveForGreatness A photo posted by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Dec 20, 2014 at 3:07pm PST

Young LeBron James Jr. is coming for you, basketball world. We've got a while to wait, though; he's in the high school class of -- wait for it -- 2023.
